Dear Mr. Moore: In youm letter of Ju~e 6, 196Z, you request that we re-evaluate lo.al ~on~ons ~d there~ter ~se you O~ our feelers ~ the maker of ~0nti~mfion or c~cellafio= of re~en~t~n ~ o~r le~e r ~ted August ~Z, 1960:~ y~r City Co~c~l. An on-the-scene re-evaluation and tnve~tig~tlon would involve a relati~rel¥ long, time-consuming process. I do mot ~elie~re tkis is what you desire. If thiSr.iS your wish, however, we will be nmo~e ~ happy to come to ~he' C£ty of: Bownton B each ~nd m~ke an addif~ton~ investigation. From the early part of 1960 to the p~resent, real estate market conditions throughout the state have been either stable or on a slight decline. .~I know this is the situation that exists in the west comst a.rem, but I cannot say, for certain that. the same situation prevails in your locale. I ara reaso~nably certain the Bo' ~ have not impr, oYed materially since our gical t~ r~commend tha~ tlie ~ the policy adopted ~as a result ot Our Ietter; that is, iscount on assessed valuations of all unsold lots of subdfvis~ons where as many as 40% of ali lots remain unsold; that d~scount be Z0%; also that this Policy apply ~onty to those subdivisions which have been improved with streets, Utility in- staIlations, etc~ I do not believe this present depressed condition will continue. discontinue this policy. Mr. Gene MO, ute, If it is your wish te have one or,ur representatives con- firm our olmin/on of present market condftio~s in the B~ynton Beach area, we wiI1 be more 'thanhappy to dO so. In all honesty, however, I do net believe ~h±s is necessary and wOu/d probably be an um~necessary expenditure on your City's part. If fhis letter does no~ fulfill your request, please advise.
